David has always considered himself a writer, and writing has always been a passion of his, even though for many years, it wasn’t his priority. Renewed in 2021 with “Writing Purpose”, he is embarking on writing while streaming and getting his work out there. Come join him in the writing adventure!
What do you stream? (or write in what genre) I write whatever strikes my fancy, though I tend to default to Fantasy/SciFi/Other Speculative Fiction. Contemporary Fiction, Memoir, and others have been known to pop up too.
How long have you been streaming? Since the beginning of December 2021.
How do you keep your viewers engaged? Still learning – but I use productivity sprints, and engage each viewer as they chat.
What is your favorite thing about streaming? I love writing, and I found I am most productive while streaming. What I love most though is talking with people who also love writing, or reading for that matter.

When can people find you on Twitch? 7am-8:30am (M-F, EST) is my schedule, but I will do plenty of other streams, including on the weekends, as my schedule allows.
So, I might have discussed this one on the stream …
Prompt 1

âSapha is like a young Wolfgang Pauli, in every laboratory he went, there was a little explosion.â Cyberpunk/magic realism author and poet Sapha Burnellâs works (Usurper Kings, Son of Abel & Neon Lieben) were dubbed âjaw-droppingly beautifulâ, âan insane, diabolical, kick-ass rollercoasterâ and âhauntingly beautifulâ. Literary critic Ella J said of Neon Lieben, âI never thought a science fiction story could be so beautifulâ. Sapha writes on the interlock between mysticism, mythology and science with a pugilistâs eye. The product of Vancouverâs multiculturalism, Sapha steeped in divergent cultures, religious experiences and gender roles, until battling with traditional opinions became a daily war. On hiatus from the written word, she volunteered in West Africa, and returned to Canada with an international perspective. As an editor & literary theorist, Saphaâs work focuses on comparative mythology & the ethics of futurism. On Twitch, Sapha critiques prose twice a week, and writes online once. A member of The Writers Union of Canada, Sapha lives in BC with their spouse and speaks on gender roles, cyberpunk, martial arts, comparative mythology, wine education and religion, when the #hallowesfam isnât chatting it up on discord or twitch.

(Their) pulse raced until only the thumping of the heart resonated in (their) ears.
The () means we can adjust the word inside to reflect the appropriate pronoun for the given story. Pronouns are often adjustable based on situation and circumstance in a story. One day you’re creating a tale about a strapping knight and if you change he to she now you’re creating it about a woman instead. Or they could be someone who’d not allowing the world to box them in. You’ve got options. Play with it and have fun! đ
